It's acually not. The government has stepped in to legislate what's legal in peoples' bedrooms, why wouldn't they extend that to the whole house?

Nope, sorry, no blind hate for Bush and Congress. General disdain for wilful stupidity, yeah.

I'm for encouraging people to learn English, and I see no reason that citizenship ceremonies should be held in anything OTHER than English, but as I said, there are so many other issues that need attention that this all seems rather... odd.

And thanks for reading something into my comment that wasn't there.
